Following are the resolutions
adopted by Wm. Lundy Post 271, G. A. R. at the meeting last evening:
WHEREAS, Another of those great spirits who led the armies of
freedom to victory, has met and been vanquished by the invincible
warrior -- Death.
RESOLVED, That we receive the sad tidings of General Sheridan's
departure to "Fame's eternal fields of glory" with a sorrow that
only comrades in the old war days can feel, and our hearts are sore
with the sense of this loss to the Nation, to the G. A. R. and to
his family.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of this
Post and a copy handed to the city papers for publication.

DUNNVILLE BREAKERS.
Corn is king this time.
Raw hides!
Thos. Gourley brought out his new thresher, Saturday. It is a fine
one and we hope that he will do well with it.
The Republican meeting here Friday night, as you are aware no doubt,
just fairly attended. You also noticed how the opening song by
the Misses Welch was rendered and enthusiastically received.
That the speech delivered
by Mr. Ed. Davis contained some very good advice to young voters and
many good political pointers. |
